How it works

- Book a call (30 min, video call on Google Meet). We talk about your income, entities, properties, and what changed this year.
- Get a clear price. Published starting-at prices for each return type, with your final price confirmed in a written quote before we start. No surprise hourly bills. See pricing.
- Secure upload. Send your tax documents through the Client Portal. No emailed documents.
- We prepare and tie out. Every figure is tied back to its source, and we compare against last year so nothing goes missing.
- Analysis, review, and e-sign. Your return arrives with a written analysis and recommendations: a short summary of the results, what changed from last year, and recommendations for the year ahead. Review it, e-sign, and we file. Questions? Ask through the portal or by email.
Real estate: our home base
From your first commission check to retail and office properties.
Real estate returns go wrong in specific ways: improvements expensed as repairs, depreciation schedules nobody updated, K-1s that don't match the entity return. We get it right and keep it consistent year to year.
